Pseudo-Intellectual

Obama was outnumbered, but not outgunned

I have, for a variety of reasons, been telling acquaintances that the social forces that control of the Democratic Party and are on the verge of a sweeping triumph in November represent a victory by the McGovernite forces who dominated the Democrats' chaotic 1972 convention.
Washington Post columnist Thomas Edsall doesn't agree. But, according to him, I'm close. He's tracing U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's impending nomination as the Democrats' presidential candidate to 1968, when Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley sent police into the streets to beat up demonstrators. Edsall makes an interesting cases that Obama's campaign organizers better understood the opportunities that grew up out of the 1968 fiasco that Hillary Clinton's campaign managers.

It's an interesting, but disappointing analysis of how small numbers of zealots can turn the political tide. The bottom line is that Sen. Hillary Clinton was outsmarted and outworked by Obama.

Isn't that the truth, sHrillary THOUGHT she had the nomination "in the bag" because of her "status" and working "arrangement" with one B.J.Clintoon (the FORMER philanderer-in-chief) and ALL his minions, with the Lamestream "media" clearing the way to the THIRD Clintoon term!!

LITTLE did she know how disgusted and tired of the MANY scandals and deception associated with them the democrat voters had become, as well as their FORMER allies in the (Ls)media!!!

SO, a "fresh face" shows up in the form of one B.Hussein Obama, a lowly first term senator (who PROMISED to serve out his senatorial term, and NOT run for the presidency!) that SNEAK-ATTACKS the sHrillary by starting the campaign about 6 months early to get a jump start and throw sHrillary "OFF her game (plan)" who then became the "media darling messiah" because he was NOT a Clintoon, and, better yet, NO one KNEW anything about his Socio-Communistic backround AND his relationship with known terrorists (Ayers and Dohrn) OR his 20 YEAR membership in a RACIST, AMERICA-HATING, BLACK-CENTRIST (THEOLOGY) CHURCH!!!

Obama clearly has NOT won in this perverted "circus" of a primary election, but the dummycrats WILL "award" him the nomination and THEY deserve ALL THEY get with him as the "nominee"!!

As T. Edsall states in his column, Obama only won because of the convoluted "rules" governing the democrat primary voting, and HOPEFULLY he WILL NOT be able to win the presidency later this year in the November general election!!

(Edsall states:)

"In the 14 states that picked some or all of their delegates through caucus systems this year, Obama won 400 delegates to Clinton's 193, a 207 delegate advantage that more than accounts for his overall delegate lead.

An analysis (pdf) published on TalkLeft found that total Democratick voter participation in the caucus states amounted to 1.1 million people, compared to the 32.4 million voters in Democratic primaries, a ratio of 30 to one. Caucus participants made up 3.2 percent of the total of 33.5 million primary voters and caucus goers combined.

In contrast to the relatively close results in most primary states, Obama won many of the caucus states by huge margins, often substantially exceeding 60 percent. As a consequence, he piled up large numbers of delegates in the relatively low turnout contests.

The TalkLeft analysis noted that Clinton won 11 more delegates than Obama in the New Jersey primary, which she won by 112,128 votes, while Obama won 12 more delegates than Clinton in the Idaho caucuses which he won by 13,225 votes. Similarly, Clinton netted 12 delegates by winning the Pennsylvania primary by 214,115 votes, while Obama came out ahead by 14 delegates by winning the Kansas caucuses by 17,710 votes."

BillD, YOU ought to "like" the "author" as he is (political)"editor" at the "Huffinpuff Pissst"!!!

May GOD BLESS America, and save us from DIS-honorable, INEPT, CORRUPT POLITICIANS such as B.Hussein Obama!!!

Yeah, "affirmative action", demagoguery, and DECEIT, the ONLY way(s) one such as B.Hussein Obama can "get ahead", as he has NO actual "experience" to RELY upon!!

There you go AGAIN, BillD, your BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) coming out AGAIN! Take your medications and lie down awhile, it may pass. Better yet, please take an over-dose of your medications and YOU may pass(on)!

It seems that President Bush was the governor of Texas, where he worked with democrats in their state legislature to keep taxes low, employment high, and a favorable busiess environment, WHEREAS B.Hussein Obama was an INEPT state senator, has ALMOST been a U.S. Senator where he is NOT doing the work the position requires, and he DECIDES he is "presidential" material??!! What a JOKE!!

B.Hussein Obama, though he "claims" to be a "uniter", has done NOTHING to "unite" ANY one, voting in the Illinois and U.S. Senates ALWAYS along party lines, and has "earned" the "reputation" as the MOST liberal senator (farther LEFT than Bernie Sanders, an avaowed SOCIALIST) when (IF) he shows up for a vote!!!

WHEN has he EVER tried to "work with" ANYONE that has a different philosophy than HIMSELF!!

WHEN, DURING 20+ YEARS IN THE RACIST, AMERICA-HATING, BLACK-CENTRIST "CHURCH" DID HE EVER DISUADE HIS "MENTOR" OR ANY OF THE "CONGREGATION" THAT THE HATEFUL MESSAGES THEY WERE TEACHING TO HIS (AND OTHER) CHILDREN, WERE NOT BENEFICIAL TO THE SOCIETY THEY MUST LIVE IN???!!! WHEN HAS HE EVER TRIED TO "UNITE" THOSE THAT BELIEVED THAT TRIPE THAT WE ARE ALL AMERICANS AND WE MUST LIVE TOGETHER AND AT LEAST TOLERATE OTHER RACES??!!!

B. HUSSEIN OBAMA IS A CON ARTIST, "EMPTY SUIT" THAT WILL BE GEORGE SOROS' PUPPET SHOULD HE EVER BE ELECTED TO THE PRESIDENCY (MAY GOD FORBID)!!!

God, please bless America, and protect us from terrorist enabling, Socio-Communists such as those who would "pull the strings" of B. Hussein Obama!!!

Here are a few facts for you, BillD, that you won't find in your Socio-Communist sites, that will aggrivate your BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome)!

From Wikipedia:

"Governor of Texas

Main article: George W. Bush as Governor of Texas

....., Bush declared his candidacy for the 1994 Texas gubernatorial election. Winning the Republican primary easily, Bush faced popular Democrat incumbent Governor Ann Richards.

Bush's campaign advisers were Karen Hughes, Joe Allbaugh, and Karl Rove.

Richards vetoed a bill allowing Texans to obtain permits to carry concealed weapons. Bush pledged to sign it (after he won the election, did so.)[44] Following his debates with Richards, his popularity grew; he won the general election with 52 percent against Richards' 47 percent.[45]

Bush used a budget surplus to push through Texas's largest ever tax-cut of two billion dollars.[45]

Bush extended government funding for organizations providing education, alcohol and drug use and abuse prevention, and reduction of domestic violence, so long as those organizations are religious. He proclaimed June 10, 2000 to be Jesus Day in Texas, a day on which he "urge[d] all Texans to answer the call to serve those in need."[46]

In 1998, Bush won re-election with nearly 69 percent of the vote.[47] Within a year, he had decided to seek the Republican nomination for the presidency.

General election

On July 25, 2000, Bush surprised some observers by asking the Halliburton corporation's chief executive officer Dick Cheney, a former White House Chief of Staff, U.S. Representative, and Secretary of Defense, to be his Vice Presidential running mate. Cheney was then serving as head of Bush's Vice-Presidential search committee.

While stressing his successful record as governor of Texas, Bush's campaign criticized[50] the Democratic nominee, incumbent Vice President Al Gore, over gun control and taxation.

Bush won the 2000 election in a controversial victory. The closeness of the outcome, as well as reports of votes being miscounted, led to a recount in Florida. Two initial counts went to Bush, but that outcome was tied up in courts for a month until reaching the U.S. Supreme Court. On December 9, in the Bush v. Gore case, the Court reversed a Florida Supreme Court ruling ordering a third count, and stopped an ordered statewide hand recount based on the argument that the use of different standards among Florida's counties violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The machine recount stated that Bush had won the Florida vote by a margin of 537 votes out of six million cast.[51] The famous episode pushed terms such as hanging chad into the popular lexicon.

Bush received 271 electoral votes to Gore's 266. However, he lost the popular vote by more than half a million votes,[51] making him one of a handful of presidents elected without at least a plurality of the popular vote.

2004 Presidential candidacy

Main article: United States presidential election, 2004

George W. Bush speaks at a campaign rally in 2004.Bush commanded broad support in the Republican Party and did not encounter a primary challenge. He appointed Kenneth Mehlman as campaign manager, with a political strategy devised by Rove.[52] Bush outlined an agenda that included a strong commitment to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act, making earlier tax cuts permanent, cutting the budget deficit in half, promoting education, as well as reform in tort law, reforming Social Security, and creation of an ownership society.

The Bush campaign advertised across the U.S. against Democratic candidates, including Bush's emerging opponent, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. Kerry and other Democrats attacked Bush on the war in Iraq, perceived excesses of the USA PATRIOT Act and for allegedly failing to stimulate the economy and job growth. The Bush campaign portrayed Kerry as a staunch liberal who would raise taxes and increase the size of government. The Bush campaign continuously criticized Kerry's seemingly contradictory statements on the war in Iraq, and claimed Kerry lacked the decisiveness and vision necessary for success in the war on terrorism. Bush carried 31 of 50 states for a total of 286 Electoral College votes.

Bush won a majority of the popular vote, the first president to do so since his father in 1988 with 50.7% of the vote to his opponents 48.3%.[53] In addition, it was the first time since Calvin Coolidge's election in 1924 that a Republican president and congressional majorities were elected."

NOTICE, BillD, that G. W. won RE-election with a MAJORITY of votes, after 4 years of the voters getting to know him, and STILL he has a GREATER "APPROVAL RATING" (28-33%) than the Socialists (DEMS) running CONGRESS (18-26% approval rating?)!!!!

(IF you care to believe polls)

The U. S. Supreme court stopped the THIRD re-count of the vote (in 2000) because the Dems were trying to "fabricate" a win for alBore, as G. W. Bush had ALREADY WON the FIRST TWO re-counts!!!!! AND the Socialist papers that re-counted the ballots after the whole re-count FIASCO was OVER, declared G. W. Bush the WINNER AGAIN!!!!

BillD, GO BACK to your Socio-Communist "conspiracy theory" sites and GROVEL in your BDS, with those others like yourself, where you can "stroke" each other.

Such HATEFULNESS coming from one who "proposes" to be a "PROGRESSIVE", the VERY HYPOCRITES that PREACH : TOLERANCE, .... ACCEPTANCE,.... AND ... DIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!! (ONLY IF ANY AND ALL ACCEPT THEIR IMMATURE WORLD "VIEWS", GORE-BULL WARMING HAHAHAHAHA!! APPEASE TERRORISTS THAT ARE TRYING TO KILL ALL THAT DO NOT ACCEPT ISLAM AS THE ONLY RELIGION ACCEPTABLE IN THE WORLD!!!!, ETC....)

YEAH, President Bush still has a GREATER approval rating than the DummocRATS in CONGRESS!!!! But then, they don't care a whit about "polls" unless they are PUSHING their AGENDA with their "SKEWED" questions/answers FAVORABLE to their own Socio-COMMUNIST AGENDA!!!!!!!!!

GEE, I must have hit a NERVE, huh, BillD???!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

There YOU go AGAIN BillD, calling others (me) names, rather than try to DISCUSS issues, YOU can NOT refute statements OR FACTS, YOU resort to ATTACKS!!!!

BillD, I find it odd that you accuse others (me) of "inability to mount a substantive argument", however YOU do not refute any factual statements I have quoted or stated for myself, YOU have no "argument", YOU just attack those you disagree with. As with most Liberal/socio-communists, you can not refute facts, you resort to attacks.

I propose you are just as much a liar as your inept messiah, Osamabama, when you state:

"I did read it (that loony website you frequent)......blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah..... I choose not to."

May GOD protect our great country from inept socio-communists and their followers that would destroy our country and the freedoms that have made it great!!

Where ya at, BillD??, I got your "rented mule" hangin', WAITIN' for your INEPT attempt at your USUAL scornful HATRED!!!

According to your (AND B. Hussein Obama's) philosophy, (Marxism) "Liberalism" is the precursor to "socialism", and "socialism" is the stepping stone to full blown COMMUNISM, through "incrementalism" (little bits at a time), to get the "control" of the "subjects" (SHEEPle) a little at a time by spouting things like "for your own good, fo' de chillins (children), et.al, ad infinitem)

HOWEVER, the "Lib-Socio-Comms" have introduced a NEW term, "PROGRESSIVE(ISM)", TRYING to IMPLY they are progressing to a better "UTOPIA", BUT it is just a "PLAY on words" to distract the sheeple to THINK their (the Lib-Socio-Commie's) INTENTIONS are "pure and honorable" when in ACTUALLITY, the progress they are TRYING to IMPLEMENT is PROGRESS TOWARD FULL BLOWN COMMUNISM!!!!!!!!!

May God protect us from Lib-Socio-Commie-PROGRESSIVES, and the ILK that will "support" their COMMUNIST AGENDA, blindly helping them to use GOVERNMENT CONTROL to DESTROY THESE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!
